Since the 1970s, raised double floors made of GIFAfloor panels-elements have revolutionized the design of floors in buildings. Initially, raised double floor systems were designed for technical rooms, but soon became the ideal solution for entire office buildings. Raised floors provided a unique opportunity for the increasing demands towards flexible use of rooms with a standard panel size of 600 x 600 mm. Due to the fact that each floor panel can be elevated, raised double floor systems ensure free access to the installation in the cavity below.
Knauf GIFAfloor DB green is an ecological and economical evolution of these raised double floor systems. GIFAfloor DB green raised floors ensure extremely high load-bearing capacity thanks to the high compression that the material undergoes during production. An outstanding unique feature of the material is its homogeneity. Therefore, the strength is identical at every point and additional edge protection is not required. GIFAfloor DB green creates a perfectly flat surface for the installation of any type of self-laying (carpet) covering. Due to the elimination of PVC edge strips and steel sheets, GIFAfloor DB Green panels can be recycled much more easily than most conventional raised floor elements. In addition, the entire floor structure is non-combustible, fire reaction class A1.
GIFAfloor DB green is part of the ecological cycle
Nature provides us with raw materials, and gypsum is available in large quantities. After excavation, extensive nature reclamation measures ensure the creation of new valuable habitats. In its product life cycle, GIFAfloor DB Green floor elements can be completely recycled into new GIFAfloor DB green boards.
